Gene expression during arbuscular mycorrhizal development is highly orchestrated in both plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. To elucidate the gene expression profiles of the symbiotic association, we performed a digital gene expression analysis of Lotus japonicus and Rhizophagus irregularis using

Diethylene glycol (DEG) is a clear, colorless, practically odorless, viscous, hygroscopic liquid with a sweetish taste. In addition to its use in a wide range of industrial products, it has also been involved in a number of prominent mass poisonings
Joshua G Schier et al.
Journal of public health policy, 30(2), 127-143 (2009-07-15)
Diethylene glycol (DEG), an extremely toxic chemical, has been implicated as the etiologic agent in at least 12 medication-associated mass poisonings over the last 70 years. Why DEG mass poisonings occur remains unclear. Most reports do not contain detailed reports
Nestor R Sosa et al.
Annals of emergency medicine, 64(1), 38-47 (2014-01-21)
Diethylene glycol is a toxic industrial solvent responsible for more than 13 mass poisonings since 1937. Little is known about the clinical spectrum, progression, and neurotoxic potential of diethylene glycol-associated disease because of its high mortality and the absence of

Although acute poisoning with ethylene glycol (EG) used in antifreeze mixtures is well known in man, only a few reports have described acute intoxication with diethylene glycol (DEG) and only one has mentioned oxaluria. Furthermore, there is no experimental evidence
